Also very surprised by the fuel economy on my Q50. Noticeably better than my G37

I know what you mean, I traded in my G37s coupe in for the Q and the MPG is about 6-7 better city. And that's huge to me because I'm 98% city
I'm in my first full tank that I fill last Monday 11th. I've ran 390 miles and I still have a little more than a 1/4 tank and it still days that I have 125 miles to empty with a 33.2 MPG.
If some of you have driven in Puerto Rico streets you will know that our traffic and roads are brutal, so that's the reason I went with the hybrid (well that, and that out government is paying us back half of the car taxes for hybrid cars, car taxes here are horrible, for this car we pay $10k, can you imagine?, at least they will send me back $5k)
After a G37 and a M37S both giving me 20MPG at most, so far, the projection is that I'm saving about $125 a month just in gas, obviously I'm still breaking in so I'm driving in Eco mode all the time, so that will change a little soon, but now I know of what this case is capable of, so when I just want to save money, I know how to drive.

I personally think this car is horrible on gas. I should have gotten the Hybrid... I didnt realize it was equally as fast/powerful
I mean, its not horrible... but for a $50k+ price tag, the Gas Version should have been more efficient. I guess thats the difference between NA and boosted engines.
Maybe i'm spoiled from my Audi... I would get 35+ mpg on the highway, and I had the 3.0TFSI supercharged engine on a 4300lb car...

Gulf still exists? I thought that name went away when BP took over.
The one that's a shorter drive from where you are when you need gas. Further you drive out of your way to get gas, more gas you burn.

I think mine is at 420 mi or so..
I've been to a gas station about 3-4 times since I picked up the car, but never for gas...

Wow, I do pretty well with mileage (way better than my 6MT 08 G37S Coupe), but apparently not as well as a lot of people here. I do, however, have a penchant for hitting triple digits every time the situation allows, deep triple digits. I do have to remember where the gas stations are.
Holy **** that is a nice picture. At first I was not a big fan of the rear of the car, but this shot makes me love my car even more.Finally able to contribute to this thread!
